    Suggestions from Experienced Owners

    * Print your name, phone number (with area code) – and for the historically minded, the date – with indelible ink, inside the Hat, once you’ve got the correct size. It gives a lost Hat a chance to return home.

    * On the beach, or just on the go? You can stuff a key, a business card, a credit card or a little emergency cash in the pocket in the crown.

    * Sailing, walking or hiking in the rain? Wear the Hat under your foul-weather hood. You’ll stay warmer, get more protection, and your hood will now move with your head. Your glasses will be better shielded too.

    * The brass grommets develop a sought-after permanent patina when exposed to salt air.

    * When the anti-sweat band at the front becomes damp, simply reverse the Hat, so it’s on backwards – and be thankful that the Hat doesn’t fit tightly.

    * Don’t know where to put your sunglasses? Insert the arms of the glasses through the two ventilation grommets on one side of your Hat and the Velcro® tab inside will secure your glasses. Most glasses will ride there nicely. There are, of course, no ventilation grommets on the LTM, TM (mesh) and TWP Hats.

  26. A.Williams says:

  30. FC says:

  31. Tim Ferguson says:

    …tired of talking to intransigent souls on the right and left, Pope Benedict began speaking to his hat. A more profound dialogue took place.

  32. frobuaidhe says:

  33. Jeff Pinyan says:
